be mine?

Hi!  

I know its been a while.  Life is busy, man.  

Look at the super cute earrings my madre brought me on her very short visit this weekend!  Thanks, mom!

First off, I realized as I am older I still got 'Valentines' from my friends.  They weren't in the form up tear-away cards put on my desk or boxes of candy hearts but rather in the form of texts.  I got plenty of 'Valentines' today.  

Some sweet:  from my little brother.

Some single girl power: "Happy V Day, woman.  Singles unite!"

Some VERY funny:  
Friend:  "Roses are red.  Violets are blue.  This is a text wishing a Happy Valentines Day to all the pretty girls in my phone, including you!"
Me:  "Oh, man.  I want you to be my Valentine.  Watcha say?"
Friend:  "It's official."
Me:  "Heads up I like hand holding."
Friend:  "Heads up I like booty rubbing."

....that's just sweet, isn't it?!  I consider myself warned.  Anyway, I have another hilarious one from my neighbor but I think 'booty rubbing' is as far as I'll go on here.

Some funny, dry and self depreciating:

I was looking for some fun pics of hearts to post but didn't really find anything I liked.  Then I remembered I had this print saved on my desktop.  Not sure where I got this so I apologize for no photo credit.  Anyway, I love it.  It's not really sweet or cheery but I like it...look at how beautifully that umbrella was drawn!  Please know I'm not some grump bc I don't happen to have a Valentine at the moment.  

Soooo that's a long excuse about how this photo doesn't represent my true Valentines feelings.

"Grumpy Love"

.just want to give him a big fatty of a hug.

i blinked and it went by.

 

Hope you all had a nice weekend.  Mine was quick but diverse.  

I had my friends pup, Toby, for the weekend.  It snowed like crazy so I took him to the park and we ran and ran and ran...he was SO happy.  

We were the only ones there.  

It was beautiful & quiet.  

My friend Linds accompanied me on a tasting around town.  

Pic below, more info to follow in the coming week(s). 

I also spent some time with my gf's on Saturday night hanging out and catching up since it had been forever since I had seen them.  

Now they are both off, jetting away and I am focusing on a busy upcoming week. 

problem.

ummmmm...yeah.

i'm cleaning and picked these up from around my place.

dear jenny, do you even like nice weather?!

I was in St. Pete for a breif moment last week to throw a baby shower for a friend.  Here are some photos of my visit.  Take a look at the baby shower photos here.

I only took one...of the cupcakes....SHOCKER.

I wasn't home for long but its was nice to spend some time in the sunshine & warmth.  Also got to catch up on much needed sleep at my moms house as the past few months have been jammed packed with meetings and work and volunteering...& of course a bit of play. 

Here are a few photos of my week...

Cupcakes.

Visited the Chihuly Collection with my friend Jess.

 

I made a few visits to Mecca.  aka PUBLIX.

Spent the day I left with my momma...this is the new Dali museum. 

Can't wait to take some time to go through it.

view across the street.

We drove to Gulfport to go to one of my fav restaurants, Tangelos, but they are closed on Mondays.  A few scenes from Gulfport.

 Ended up at Chattaway's for a yummy burger and iced tea!  It was so nice to sit in the sun.  I got a bit red with this white winter skin I rock.

  Then we went downtown & got gelato.

 My view from our sidewalk table. 

We drove through my fav neighborhood, Driftwood.  It's this hidden spot on the south side of St. Pete.  I stumbled upon it a few years before I moved.  There's a house for sale in there...if only I had the money!

Visited with my sista-friend, Heather.

My brother and his gf came over from Orlando and we had lunch with my grandfather.  Doesn't he look cute in his shirt and sweater vest?! 

Peg made this rule.  When we turn 30 all of our old toys and keepsakes must go.  Bless her for keeping all of my crap.  Big brother turns 30 at the end of the month so he packed his trunk full of GI Joe's and headed back to Orlando.  Dont think he was all that pumped about it.  

I've got about 14 months.  Time to start preparing for the mounds of barbies and books that are stacked in my mom's house.

treats

who knew throwing a baby shower for a friend would include personalized treats just for me?! 

I feel spoiled.

First, let me start off by saying my friend & mother-to-be, Crispin, is the most beautiful pregnant woman in the entire universe.  

& i was in awe when she rocked some high heels (on multiple occasions)

...i think thats the TX in her.  

My friend E made these oh so adorable aprons for the hostesses and Baby Ford's Mommy.  Aunt-to-be Cammie then embroidered each apron with our names...mine said 'Aunt Megan.'  

AAWWW LOVE IT!  

I am just starting to unpack so these aren't the best photos but I wanted to share my gf's incredible creativity & generosity!  

Then in true Crispin style she gave us the sweetest personalized and thoughtful hostess gifts.  The ornaments were made by Pinky's Painted Cottage and are so stinkin perfect!  I cant wait to find a place for it to hang all year long!  

The poodle reference is a term of endearment our friend Brooke uses.  She's the funniest thing I know.  Could just eat her up.

 

 

The note cards are from Etsy and since I still have a few Christmas 'Thank you's' to write they were a very welcomed gift!  (yikes!)

(please ignore the partially painted nails...I have a lot of life catching up to do!)

Hello there.

I am back from a wonderful week in St. Pete.  

Back to reality.

Off to the races.

There's lots going on and I have a few things to do before I get back on here.  

I hope you all have a wonderful week & I'll talk to you soon!

OH!  & check out my friend Crispin's blog for the first and currently only photo posted of our Baby Ford celebration week!  More to come!
